Everyone is racist, even blacks.(contrary to those who say blacks cant be racist) My black friends/coworkers ALWAYS make racist remarks against my white co-workers. Latinos are also very racist against blacks and whites.. I see it all the time. Whites are soooo racist against all... its just common sense.
The world we live in is sh(*)t
Funny how the a dog doesn't discriminate a black or white dog as potential mate but the human animal does but whatever, we are all the pits.
Now what?

"Most Useless Countries"
"African countries have been slaying each other for centuries and I'm sure they would have done it to Europe too if they had the technology."
It's true. But don't try downplaying the fact that every race has a dark history, especially since his assumption IS just hypothetical, compared to the way things actually turned out. For all we know things would be the exact same way, except that another race other than whites would be dominant, and he'd probably be kissing their asses instead. He's right about some double standards, but he comes off as someone who isn't the least bit mindful of black people's history in the US. You can deny it all you want, but it still affects things today. (Or does that Oklahoma video not shed a light on racism that is still enduring?). And it's only been two generations since then.

Your argument is whiney and bored. You guys want EVERYTHING non-whites have. Land, culture, practices and now even the oppression. You're limiting your view of racism to a definition, and I'm going to stress this again, written by WHITE PEOPLE. Racism cannot go two ways. Prejudice can. But the former is specific to people of colour because never have we oppressed and stolen from whites and never have we committed genocide against yall. Racism isn't about hurt feelings but a constant history of whites silencing masses of people. Racism is whites lynching black people just under 60 years ago. Racism is white police officers getting away with shooting and murdering black civilians every 28 hours.
If you think racism can go both ways, prove it (don't) because all you'll find is whites people crying about getting called mayonnaise, or having their ******** called out, compared to people of colour who are literally dying at the hands of white people. It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

1) How is this damn thread still going? 
2)The bold. The bold. The bold. Read it people who think you can be "racist" towards white people. It's just not possible. Racism isn't just petty insults over the internet or in person or one isolated killing of a black man killing a white man over the color of his skin.
There's a difference between a black teen being shot by white cops daily and getting away with it whether the victim was violent or not and one isolated incident smh. You guys should know better. Don't be ignorant for some kiis online or because you feel offended that you're white and people from your race are doing racist things. As Roman Holiday said, Take the L, educate yourselves, act better and move on.
That's all I'll say on the topic. And please non-US people, unless you actually understand what's going on, don't act like you do. Just run along, there are pop threads waiting around for you in other parts of this site.

I remember him saying that in some thread. This has been the bases for every argument he's ever had here about race.

And yes, yes it displays your ignorance because like so many ATRLers it shows your entire concept of racism is within a US-based white-vs-black context. The world is full of complex and deep-rooted racial tensions and conflicts, by hijacking the word and saying it can only be used to describe white-on-black racism ignores, for example, the suffering of the Rohingya people. White people globally are the worst offenders of oppression and racism, but saying anything else cannot be racism is ignorant and insulting.
This is a ridiculous line of argument, are you seriously trying to argue the definition of racism is in itself racist because it doesn't inherently specify a target? Racism is racism is racism, you can't simply change what a word means and then accuse anyone who calls you out on it of being a bigot. Racism is prejudice and/or discrimination based off racial differences, phrases exist to describe what you're describing, such as "institutionalised racism" or "societal racism"
This is racism. It's not institutionalised racism, nor a legitimate argument for whites having it as bad as blacks, but it's still a racist attack.
I'm not arguing that society is no longer racist (I've already stated this several times but you've shown you don't like to actually bother reading the posts you respond to so I thought I'd emphasize it) I'm objecting the ATRL redefinition of racism. Pedantic as it may seem to the language we use to communicate is vitally important to the conversation and by trying to change what a word means you can simplify an issue and hinder what are much-needed conversations. |
Of course that this post would be ignored.

As I recall hearing from a well-known researcher in my country, non-racism is an unnatural, sort of synthetic behavior where current societies develop. One single stumble and the whole thing crumbles. I don't think there is a significant difference among millenials and other generations upon this topic, but I do think there has been an increase of noticeable double standards - where you defend your own group of people (e.g. race) but may not care about other minor groups of people - because of internet and the globalized world we live in.

First of all, it's a post by me. Second of all, all of my posts in that "expose" are completely taken out of context. It literally made it look like the thread said "Name the most useless countries in the world" and that's what I responded with. When is reality, all I said was that white people weren't the only race that was barbaric and ruthless, they just had better technology to conquer more land. No, it doesn't make what they did any better, but I was just pointing out a simple fact.
Also, I love how that post is just big enough to see "you are so annoying with your black popstars threads". I said he was annoying because, from what I remember, he was making 50 million threads asking "is X considered black?". I can't believe you deleted the thread title from that specific post. Wow. You are surely something else, Dynamo.
